Full spoilers ahead for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Will and Tony finally get the chance to go deep on Brand New Day—the story, surprises and character choices that may make it the most authentically comic-book Spider-Man movie ever brought to live action.

They discuss why this finally feels like an established, street-level Spider-Man; how the movie understands Peter Parker’s intelligence, humor and loneliness; and why Peter’s decision to isolate himself becomes the emotional center of the story.

The conversation also covers:
- Jean Grey’s true role in the story
- The devastating MJ reveal
- Punisher’s complicated friendship with Peter
- Spider-Man’s battle with Hulk
- Ned’s Spider-Tracker and whether Peter’s friends are beginning to remember him
- The movie’s mental-health message
- Peter building his own technology and AI
- The disappointing—but potentially important—post-credit scene
- How Brand New Day may establish the MCU’s X-Men conflict
- What the ending could mean for Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars
- Why Vision Quest suddenly looks much more promising

This is the full spoiler conversation Will has been waiting weeks to have. If you’ve seen Brand New Day and need to talk through everything that happened, welcome to the huddle.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day may be the best live-action Spider-Man movie yet—but not because it delivers bigger action or more multiverse spectacle.

It works because the movie remembers something essential: Spider-Man cannot exist without Peter Parker.

In this spoiler-light review, Will explains why Peter’s loneliness, humanity, and personal history make Brand New Day hit differently—and why Jon Bernthal’s Punisher nearly steals the entire movie.

A trip to Disneyland used to mean grabbing a map, picking a direction, and seeing where the day took you. Today, it means mobile apps, Lightning Lane reservations, ride-stacking strategies, Magic Bands, mobile ordering, and a surprising amount of planning.

So here's the question: has technology made Disneyland better, or has it quietly turned the Happiest Place on Earth into a pay-to-win experience?

This week, Will shares the experience of watching his daughter perform in a Disneyland parade while diving deep into the technology that now shapes nearly every part of a Disney vacation. From Lightning Lane strategy and app-based planning to the growing divide between park guests who know the system and those who don't, the conversation explores whether convenience is enhancing the magic—or replacing it.

Also this week:

• Disneyland vs. Disney California Adventure crowd strategies

• The rise of Lightning Lane and ride stacking

• Disney's growing "haves and have-nots" problem

• Rainy-day park hacks and planning tips

• After-hours experiences and exclusive events

• What Is My Purpose? returns with a Disney-themed 3D printing project

Andy Weir's *Project Hail Mary* may be science fiction, but some of the technology and ideas behind it are starting to look a lot more familiar than we'd like to admit.

Are we closer to *Project Hail Mary* than we realize, or are we just seeing what we want to see?

Along the way, they discuss the upcoming film adaptation, the challenges of predicting future technology, and why some of the most unbelievable ideas in science fiction have a habit of becoming reality.

Also this week:

• The latest developments in AI and emerging technology

• How science fiction shapes innovation

• The growing relationship between humans and intelligent machines

• What *Project Hail Mary* gets right about problem solving and collaboration
